"Give me back the fox," Shen Qingyao said calmly, her face expressionless.

Lu Zhao raised an eyebrow, seeming a bit puzzled. How come she wanted back something that had just been given? He silently recalled his words just now. He only said he would design a few more for her. How did he provoke the little girl? He smiled and said, "You gifted it to me. Why does Yaoyao want to take it back?"

Because! I won't give you gifts anymore in the future! Shen Qingyao thought angrily. Even giving a gift raised the blackening value!

She felt like she made a huge loss.

"Can't I? I don't want to gift it to you anymore!" Anyway, she had the persona of being possessive and paranoid. It was quite normal for a 'possessive and paranoid lover' with a bit of psychological abnormality to go back on her word and changing her mind!

She thought that Lu Zhao would cooperate with her and return the thing to her. Maybe taking it back could reduce the blackening value. Shen Qingyao was hopeful, but she saw Lu Zhao squinting and smiling. He lowered his head, unclasped the jade pendant from his waist, and quickly tied the jade fox onto it.

After tying it securely, he leisurely handed over the valuable-looking jade pendant that he had taken off.

-What kind of operation is this?

Seeing that she didn't take it, Lu Zhao raised his hand again, gesturing for her to take it. He said, "If Yaoyao wants it, take this. But this fox is already mine, and I won't give it back." Shen Qingyao was stunned, then heard him continue, "Yaoyao wants to exchange tokens with me (1), right?"

...No, she didn't.

Shen Qingyao almost choked on her tea when she heard this. She stared at the other party, unable to believe that White Moonlight would be so blindly confident.

"No, I don't understand where he got this conclusion from??" Shen Qingyao was simply bewildered. If she hadn't been able to clearly see the number on Lu Zhao's head, she would almost have been fooled by him into thinking he really liked the pendant. "How can this person have two faces? He truly deserves the award for the most dedicated actor of the year!"

The system looked at this scene coldly and couldn't help but let out a mocking sound. Before Shen Qingyao exploded in anger, it quickly reassured her, [Maybe he wants to exchange... uh... tokens with you?]

Shen Qingyao fell silent for a moment, staring at the jade pendant in front of her. She neither confirmed nor denied the system's nonsense. In principle, she didn't believe Lu Zhao would want to exchange tokens with her. Wasn't she just a tool in his eyes?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyao inexplicably felt a little disappointed. Then she thought again, wasn't she treating him as a tool as well? What's the difference?

So she hesitated for two seconds, no longer entangled with the jade fox. If he wanted to take it, then let him. She couldn't snatch it back anyway... And with the mindset of never losing, she accepted the translucent white jade pendant that was probably worth many times more than the jade fox.

Seeing her taking it, Lu Zhao's smile deepened, and he didn't tease her anymore. He just lowered his head and quietly played with the little fox hanging on his waist.

Shen Qingyao looked at him for a while. The glaring [ 12 ] seemed to silently mock her efforts to charm him. She took a deep breath, turned her head away, and decided not to bother herself with it!

The big brother downstairs hadn't stopped his antics for so long. Most of the people around had gotten tired of listening and dispersed. The few remaining ones were impatient and advised him to stop getting drunk. Because the main character was too calm, the carefully planned 'performance' of the big brother inexplicably turned into a one-man-show with no one paying attention.
